The Bat Detectors

On June 27, 2016, Nature Canada held a "Bat Detector" event at Fletcher Wildlife Garden in Ottawa. Participants were given electronic 'bat detectors which translate the ultrasonic echolocation of bats into audible sounds. The event was part of Nature Canada's "Naturehood" program to connect urban Canadians with nature. Use of the detectors help scientists determine the locations and health of bat populations.
